    Dear Mr. Singleton, Linda, Carol & Sharon, I was very saddened to hear about Mrs. Singleton. I saw her a couple of weeks ago with Sharon in Stein Mart. I truly believe she remembered me. She looked as sweet as ever,smiling the whole time. I have so many memories of growing up across the street and seeing her almost everyday... many days at mom's bridge table. Oh, the stories she and Mom could share! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Love & Sympathy, Martha (Sharpe) Pressnell
